User Interface Display Apparatus Using Texture Mapping Method

1. A user interface display apparatus, comprising: an image module unit for providing image patterns; a texture pattern unit for providing texture patterns; a display code-buffer unit for arranging pattern codes which are associated with the image patterns and texture patterns to be displayed on a user interface display window; and a mixer unit for mixing the image patterns and the texture patterns, and output a mixed signal; wherein the mixer unit uses an alpha blending method, where output=(pattern from said image module unit)×alpha+(pattern from said texture pattern unit)×(1−alpha), and wherein the parameter alpha is a real number between 0 and 1.

2. The user interface display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising an outline shape index generator for providing the mixing index information to define the outline shape.

3. The user interface display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the outline shape index generator further comprising sub-window define function.

4. The user interface display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the outline shape index generator further using alpha index for image pattern.

5. The user interface display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the outline shape index generator further using color key method for image pattern.

6. The user interface display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the predefined image pattern could be any combination of dot pixel.

7. The user interface display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the texture patterns can be defined by end-user.

8. A user interface display apparatus, combined with an traditional on screen display and overlap the output signal, comprising: an image module unit for providing image patterns; a texture pattern unit for providing texture patterns; a display code-buffer unit for arranging pattern codes which are associated with the image patterns and texture patterns to be displayed on a user interface display window; and a mixer unit for mixing the image patterns and the texture patterns, and output a mixed signal; wherein the mixer unit uses an alpha blending method, where output=(pattern from said image module unit)×alpha+(pattern from said texture pattern unit)×(1−alpha), and wherein the parameter alpha is a real number between 0 and 1.

9. The user interface display apparatus of claim 8 , further comprising an outline shape index generator for providing the mixing index information to define the outline shape.
